About Leanne

Leanne Kemp offers a warm, client-led counselling style that focuses on each person’s unique needs. She puts listening first and creates a calm space where people can talk about what is causing them distress. Leanne makes no judgements and avoids telling people what to do, instead guiding them to find workable next steps.

Leanne has worked in counselling and mental health mentoring for over 13 years. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma and abuse, and work-related stress. She has also helped clients with relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and challenges linked to neurodivergence such as autism and ADHD.

Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which means sessions follow the person’s priorities. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people identify small, practical changes that make a difference. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented when that suits the person.

Leanne holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. She draws on years of direct practice to offer steady, compassionate support for everyday problems and more complex issues.

People who come to Leanne often want help with coping strategies, clearer decision making, or recovering from difficult events. She aims to help people find a manageable path forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Step 3

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online

Leanne uses client-centred therapy, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping the client make sense of their experience so they can decide what to try next. It is useful for emotional concerns, grief, and long-standing personal issues.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy to help people spot small, practical changes. This style looks for strengths and past successes, then builds short-term goals to move forward more quickly. It can help when someone wants clear steps for managing stress, sleep, or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide whether a client-centred emphasis or a more solution-focused plan is best. That choice can change over time as needs shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can choose what feels most comfortable for them while the therapist and client focus on practical progress.
